Mercouris thinks Z's incompetence is a net positive for the Russian side but the situation is dynamic so that could change as the war winds down.
Some art on the walls is a nice touch.
The change in surveillance and recon is probably going to be huge. The grenade drops are good at creating terror but are they really better than artillery in an attrition war? Russia and nato probably have data on that but we won't find out until after the war and analysis eventually leaks out.
So they're using Nasrallah as a cover to launch the invasion? Waiting for Friday evening to take advantage of slow weekend news cycle.

Asked in a state television interview to choose between Biden and Trump, Putin said the US leader was “more experienced, predictable, an old-school politician”, adding that Russia would “work with any US leader who wins the trust of the American people”.
At their last meeting in Geneva in 2021, Putin recalled, “they were already saying Biden wasn’t competent [ . . . ] but I saw nothing of the sort.
